Am I the only one grossed out by foodies and restaurants using runny egg yolks?

Yes. Runny egg yolk is fantastic.

People who don’t like food and who have terrible palates often like completely cooked through eggs and can only handle scrambled. Or like their steaks cooked medium to well.

I wouldn't avoid a restaurant because of them.

Claims to not like runny egg yolks while simultaneously stating they like poached eggs. Wth?

Runny yolks are part of my all time favorite foods. What grosses me out are runny whites when restaurants cook too quickly

My eggs have got to be well done. Fried-over hard, boiled-hard. As a matter of fact, I would have had some fried eggs this morning but was out of eggs. I've bought some today and may have some for dinner.

5 - 6 minutes gives a nice tender nonrunny poached egg. I don't care what Julia Child or anyone else says. OP likes poached as well, guessing she makes them the same way as me. I can't believe how stuck up people are about how others should eat.

Disgusting. I bet you like your steak well done too.

Then you’re not making a poached egg. You’ve made a hardboiled egg outside of a shell.

“Broken into the water at the poaching temperature, the white will cling to the yolk, resulting in cooked egg white and runny yolk.”

Poaching is a cooking technique, or specific to eggs. It means to cook in barely simmering liquid.

I like runny poached eggs -- for breakfast. I like medium rare steak. I don't like to see over easy eggs on top of all sorts of random lunch and dinner items. It's gross.

Way to generalize. I eat all types of foods but I dislike runny yolks. Why would that have anything to do with how adventurous my palate is or how I like my steak cooked? Egg yolks have nothing to do with the rest. I love eggs all sorts of ways, but the yolk has to be cooked.

Only time an egg was too runny for me on first glance was in Japan- when it was cracked raw right in top of my rice. Ate it anyway. Lived to tell the tale and would do it again.

The rice is hot enough to cook the egg. Or st least, that's the idea.

Poaching a chicken is just boiling a chicken. Poaching an egg means cooking in water so the white is cooked and the yolk is runny.

I don't know what OP is talking about. If she doesn't like runny yolks, then she doesn't like poached eggs.

I am not grossed out by the pictures, and I do like runny yolks, but for me there is a line where it’s too runny. As someone else said, when even some of the white is still runny, then it’s underdone for me. But they do make for pretty pictures.
